[b822811]12<para>The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
[a9c5d39]13/usr/share/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
[2c094d6]14they tend to go deeper than just explaining the options to a
[bdc08c1]15program.</para></sect4>

[b822811]22<para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
[695ae0bc]23program is run, a list with available topics (ie: available info documents)
24will be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
[2c094d6]25available topics. If info files are removed manually, you must also delete
26the topic in the index file. This program is used for
[b822811]27that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
[bdc08c1]28added.</para></sect4>
